Mindy - can you provide links to info about these days? Thanks! (this will be fun ... I already have an idea for Left Handed Day ...)

EDITED TO ADD: I found a couple neat websites that can answer a lot of the questions I had:

A question about Aunt & Uncle Day:

I searched around for some information, but did not find a definitive answer, and I suppose it would have more to do with GCU's specific treatment anyway. Is this occasion - and the cards pertaining to it - only geared toward couples, or are single aunts and uncles also included, with cards just for them?

Thank you for clarifying.

It is not clear so I'd say feel free to do a combination of all 3 (Aunt & Uncle, Aunt, and Uncle) like we've allowed for in Grandparents Day.
